Today we released the WindowBlinds 8.1 update that includes fixes for skinning issues with Thunderbird, Firefox, Skype and Directory Opus. We also improved support for high DPI displays. View the full changelog.

Nope. I didn't switch the skin.
I startet up my WIndows 10 minutes ago, didn't switch the theme and Opera looks like that: http://snap.ashampoo.com/39joWsbg
Don't know why, because in most cases all is fine, like here: http://snap.ashampoo.com/0lUQfefA
Firefox auto-updated to version 37.0 today. Now it also crashes on launch with WindowBlinds loaded. Hardware acceleration setting makes no difference. I have no choice but to stop using WindowBlinds now.
Keep calm... at Stardock also work only humans, @emanresu ...
It's just such an excellent product, it's hard to live without. Windows 8.1's default styling is terrible.
At least I can get shadows with ShadowFX.
The understatement of 2014.
2 nd that
We have the v8.11 update out that addresses the Firefox issue. Please try that update and let us know if it resolves your issue.

Beautiful! Waterfox, Firefox Dev, and standard Firefox 37.0 are all working. Great job, guys!
Oops ... almost perfect. There seems to be just a very minor issue:In Firefox dev and Firefox 37.0 (but not Waterfox), the titlebar sometimes loses transparency. It seems to happen when switching to Firefox from another application, sometimes when moving the window, and sometimes when the mouse has been over the titlebar and then moves away. The titlebar doesn't go completely opaque, but becomes about half as transparent as it should be. When it happens, there's often a hard black shadow behind the top of the window, except for where the window controls are.
Here's a screenshot showing the issue with the Acrylic skin.
At least it's usable! Still looks much better than raw Windows 8.1.
You would need to speak to the firefox devs about that one. Notice how it is rounded around where the OS buttons would be...
Seriously? Why would it be the Firefox devs' responsibility to make it work with WindowBlinds? How could I possibly convince them to do anything about it?
Sorry I originally thought you were talking about the black bar which appears on maximized Firefox developer edition windows with a small rounded rectangle for the min, max and close buttons. This is something only the firefox developers can change.
There does seem to be an issue with some transparent themes which is linked to repainting areas and we have a small tweak for the release version of WB 8.11.
Ah, okay. Glad we're on the same page.
As to hardware/driver differences, there is a tab background image in Pale Moon which displays on two of my rigs and not on the third; interestingly, it does not display on the rig which has the intermittent transparent titlebar on launch. I prefer the background to not display, so that's good on the one rig, but ugly on the other two. All three have the same versions of OS & WB. I mention this again because I believe we should be mindful of machine differences and not expect WB to perfectly account for all of them. Not saying that's the case for any poster's specific issue. Just a general comment.
